I’d take Red Bull like a shot. It won’t be them though. Things like that just don’t happen to Charlton.6

You're supposed to take it with a shot you muppet.

He's far to busy making sure our Tone doesn't keep uplugging the clubs mainframe to make a brew to worry about updating the site.Dazzler21 said:

I was about to announce that it definitely isn't Red Bull, but in the nick of time I remembered that I don't actually know anything about this.
Based on no information, I don't think it's Red Bull.4 -
I don’t think RedHenrys boys are Red Bull. I’m saying Arab money.13

If you say 'mate' I think you are talking about Australians but I am pretty sure you are not.Hex said:
I guess it could depend on the influence "his mate" has.vff said:
Angeldust on ITTV who is usually pretty reliable. It’s worth giving it some credence.Athletico Charlton said:
As a billionaire RD can probably afford to choose his purchaser a little more even if it means taking slightly less. Happens in the property market all the time actually where big corporate sales take place and vendors would rather sell to someone they know will perform than be mucked around by a range of people offering the earth but with no demonstrable track record.Addickted said:I don't get this mate of Rolands he trusts.
If my mate wanted to buy my house and someone I'd never met before wanted to pay £50k more, then I would go back to my mate and say sorry pal, but you're going to up your offer if you want the house.
In addition, even if you wanted to take the highest bid you would probably do your mate the courtesy of giving him last option to match if he could, you may even do a deal where you took £50K less upfront and then retained the freehold or received £75K in stage payments over a few years to compensate you.
That said, I am not sure where the ‘his mate’ rumour came from and have given in no credence because of that.
As much as Charlton supporters annoy Duchatelet for not getting behind his strategy & bow to his Turing level genius.
(I am sure Duchatelet would prefer a universe where there was limited free will & the serfs had to support their Lord).
Duchatelet’s baseline & overriding concern is his pocket & the group that gives him best terms & best profit is likely to prevail.
On a positive note if the group with money are reluctant to overpay & they succeed it shows they are better with money & that bodes well for the future if they succeed.0 -
I doubt the mate scenario, he was flustered in that discussion in Belgium. Exaggeration and miss information to defend himself would just trip off the tongue as has with Daisy when under pressure.
Possibly as @Johnny73 suggests, Murray if all else fails might have been in his mind. Also wasn't that discussion/interview a while back before @Redhenry mentioned the big bucks/dinar boys looking. The landscape has probably changed recently with the third possible interest & Daisy exiting.0 -
So do we all agree that PV and the Kuwaiti’s are not one of the three supposed bidders then?0

No. I think we all (or mostly all) agree we don't know, but we hope so.flyingkiwiDK said:So do we all agree that PV and the Kuwaiti’s are not one of the three supposed bidders then?

i saw Varney and The Kuwaities once they supported Splodgeness at The Harp Club New Cross about 1987 !9

That takes me back. I had many an ‘eventful’ night in The Harp Club in the early 80s.Goonerhater said:i saw Varney and The Kuwaities once they supported Splodgeness at The Harp Club New Cross about 1987 !
Never saw Varney and the Kuwaitis though.

I saw Splodge a few times, but never with Kuwaitis.0

Listened to the final episode of 'getting to know the network' again earlier.
I still don't know why he's still here if what they concluded is correct. The whole Not-work was set up to support Standard Liege. The moment he sold them that should have been it for us as well shouldn't it?
Confirmed my theory that the club was bought for Daisy.
Regarding his sale of SL, can't help but think that if the Belgium 20 had smashed a chair through that restaurant window the smug git was sitting by he would have sold up within a week!4 -
According to big C/BB, RB has set a deadline of the 26th January and the price is 44m5

Stay strong for us @NapaAddick - even in the face of such vile provocation23

Haha, I will. Plan to keep my mouth shut.

If Varney “isn’t” involved somehow or another with a takeover bid, then surely he would have come out and said so long ago.
My bet is that he is at the very least involved in some way with one of the interested parties, otherwise he would have made an effort to deny the rumours.5 -

Or perhaps he's focused on his actual job, working with one of our rivals.SoundAsa£ said:If Varney “isn’t” involved somehow or another with a takeover bid, then surely he would have come out and said so long ago.

(I don't begrudge him for one second for working for another club, btw)2 -

Which is one of the main reasons why he would wish to distance himself from the rumours if not true...........one would have thought.Stu_of_Kunming said:

From a Leeds United fan on Not606.
A word of caution.
I have heard from a source who in the past has proved to be itk about such things that one of the interested groups comes from Bahrain. Before you all get excited it is suggested a bloke called Salem Patel may be involved. I can’t say this is more than rumour but if true you guys need to know what he is.
Google is your friend.1
